A bulletin for the Residents of West Paterson

Greetings,

    We would like to take this opportunity to thank the residents of West Paterson for your support throughout the years. It is through your donations that we have been able purchase two ambulances to continue to provide emergency medical services to you and your neighbors.   

    When we were in desperate need of new ambulances in 1995, the town helped us purchase the ambulances by sponsoring a bond in which we paid back the town’s annual donation plus the $10,000 a year we saved when the town picked the insurance for the squad.  These ambulances, now 11 years old, are below to the right:

    Through years of saving, your donations have not only allowed us to purchase the supplies that we use as part of our free service, but also to finance these new ambulances shown here:

    So to the residents of West Paterson, thank you for your support.  Your support allows us to provide a free service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week every year.   And our team of volunteers work hard every day to provide medical service when you need it the most.

But......

    We still desperately need volunteers, so please, if you are interested, you can learn more about being part of a team by clicking here.  If you know that you are interested and would like to print out and mail us an application , then feel free to do so.  Individuals willing to give and help their community are as important as the donations we receive.  We cannot provide this service if there is no one to staff these new ambulances.  So please, give back to the community by helping us to help you.

     Thank you.

Your neighbor,

The West Paterson First Aid Squad, Inc.
